Overview
Sulayman ibn Marthad, of the Banu Sa'd ibn Malik ibn Subay'a ibn Qays ibn Tha'laba ibn Ukaba, of the Marai'd of Rabi'a 1.
Khurasan
He opposed the treaty of Salm with Ibn Khazim over Khurasan, and they agreed to refer the matter to the judgement of Ibn al-Zubayr. When Ibn al-Zubayr appointed him over Khurasan, he refused to accept it, and said that Ibn al-Zubayr was not a caliph but a man seeking refuge in the Sacred House 1.
Ibn Khazim fought him with six thousand men, while Sulayman had fifteen thousand, and his emblem was "O Nasr, draw near". Qays ibn Asim al-Sulami killed him and cut off his head 1.
